Falling in love while doing tasks [Quick Wear]

Song Xu placed the breakfast he bought from the street shop on the table one by one. He sat beside the table and watched Yue Shengyi, who had changed his clothes, come out from behind the landscape screen.

Yue Shengyi was wearing a new crescent-white round-collared robe, and an inch-wide light blue belt with embroidered cloud patterns outlined his slender waist. His dark black hair was tied up in a long ponytail and hung behind his head, making him look neat and tidy, without a speck of dust.

"Sister Shengsheng."
Song Xu kept staring at her, and when she sat down opposite him, he quickly moved closer and held her hand.
"You're so pretty."

Yue Shengyi lowered his head and chuckled, then gently held Song Xu's small hand.
"A Xu is really pretty, even prettier than a blooming phoenix flower."

The phoenix flower is the national flower of Fengwu. When it blooms, its fiery red petals are gorgeous and brilliant, and its fragrance is even more rich and intoxicating. Yue Sheng also used the phoenix flower to compare Song Xu, which is the highest praise in her heart as a Fengwu citizen.

While placing the warm breakfast in front of Yue Shengyi, the corners of his lips curled up slightly. Song Xu felt as sweet as if she had eaten honey, but she kept shaking her head at Yue Shengyi.
"Shengsheng is prettier than me. Shengsheng is the prettiest. Let's have breakfast."

Yue Shengyi wanted to say something, but when he looked into his beloved's eyes, he was completely defeated. So he obediently picked up his chopsticks and started eating breakfast.

******
After they had breakfast, they left the yard as usual and walked slowly all the way to the garden of the Princess's Mansion.

The two held hands, their sleeves of extremely distinct colors, crescent white and flame red, tightly intertwined, and they walked one after the other into the four-cornered glazed tile pavilion built against the flowing water and rockery.

A breeze gradually rose, and the bell wind chimes hanging on the four corners of the pavilion trembled gently. The sound of breaking jade, mixed with the fragrance of flowers, hit people's faces and soothed their hearts.

Song Xu held Yue Shengyi's hands with both, gently stroking the rough calluses on her palms with heartache, while asking the system in her mind.

[33, I want to ask if my sister has completed her mission?]
[No.]
[Why? My sister and I are already together.]
[I cannot tell the host the specific reason, but please rest assured that when Miss Shu Shengyi's mission is officially completed, I will give you a corresponding reminder.]
33, who had not appeared for a long time, still had a polite mechanical voice, answering Song Xu's questions in a calm tone.

Uncontrollable things are always the most dangerous, especially when this unknown danger may be around the person you love most.

[Can I check the completion of my sister's mission?]
Song Xu frowned, but because she lowered her head, Yue Shengyi could not see her solemn expression at this moment.

[Sorry host, this is not possible.]
The cold mechanical sound immediately caused the murderous intent in Song Xu's heart to surge, and his deep eyes were faintly red.
"you"

"Ah Xu?"
Yue Shengyi, who noticed that something was wrong with Song Xu at the first moment, called her, but saw her suddenly raise her head, and her starry eyes, which were originally smiling, now glowed with a crazy red.

Song Xu's eyes were filled with murderous intent, and Yue Shengyi's heart skipped a beat when he saw it.
"Ah Xu, what's wrong with you?"

".elder sister?"
Song Xu first stared at Yue Shengyi closely, then slowly approached her and called out softly as if to confirm.

But Yue Shengyi just frowned and watched her actions without answering.

So Song Xu moved closer, the distance between them shortened, and their breathing gradually blended.
"Sister Shengsheng!"

"Just answer me. Just answer me, okay?"

The murderous aura from just a moment has disappeared, leaving only the attachment and admiration with a hint of nostalgia.

Song Xu gently rubbed Yue Shengyi's cheek with her cheek, acting like a soft and coquettish kitten, and the redness in her eyes quickly faded into a light red.

But it was obvious that she had not regained consciousness, and was still as if trapped in a nightmare. Her hands were tightly wrapped around Yue Shengyi's waist, and she wanted to hide her whole body in her arms.
"Sound..."

"I'm here."
Seeing Song Xu suddenly showing her vulnerable side for some reason, Yue Shengyi felt inexplicably upset. When she saw the emotions in Song Xu's eyes, her heart ached even more.

However, she still reached out and gently held Song Xu in her arms, comforting her softly.
"Ah Xu, I'm here, I'm here..."

******
The hot wind sneaked into the room through the half-open window, but met the cold ice. The two touched each other until they melted.

When Song Xu opened his eyes again, it was already afternoon. The sun illuminated the room, which was empty. Slowly recalling his crazy behavior that had lost control not long ago, Song Xu's eyes were fixed on the dark blue bed curtains without moving.
[I am indeed a waste.]
The palm-sized face was pale, the light-colored lips were tightly pursed, and the empty eyes made the whole person look lifeless.

[Sorry host, it is my fault. I forgot to remind you that the character you replace in each world will retain some of the original owner's emotions and problems to a certain extent.]
33: [I'm sorry for causing trouble to the host.]
Song Xu: [But I am still the one in control, right?]
She blinked her sore eyes and felt everything in front of her become blurry, so she simply closed her eyes.
[What the original owner left behind was the desire to kill.]
33: [Yes, as of now, the host has already been able to control these negative emotions very well. Of course, this is on the premise that Miss Shu Shengyi is not involved.]
Song Xu: [Heh.]
33's mechanical voice paused for a moment, then continued:
[So in order to ensure that the task can be completed smoothly, I have applied for the right to view Miss Shu Shengyi's task completion status for the host.]
33: [Currently, Ms. Shu Shengyi's task completion rate is: 80%]
Her tightly closed eyelashes trembled slightly, but she did not open. However, her breathing was unstable after all.
Song Xu: [33, thank you.]
33: [You’re welcome. This is what I should do.]
After saying this, silence returned to my mind.
Song Xu lay quietly on the bed, his breathing gradually becoming calm and shallow, as if he had fallen into an eternal sleep.

******
When Yue Shengyi slowed down his pace and walked in, he saw that the person on the bed was still motionless with his eyes closed. The faint light shining on his face made him look paler and more fragile.

Seeing Song Xu like this, Yue Shengyi suddenly felt waves of dense and tiny pains surge out from the deepest part of his heart and spread throughout his body.

He suddenly raised his hand to cover his heart, and Yue Shengyi took a deep breath, as if to suppress the pain for a moment, and then slowly moved towards the bed.

The slightly trembling fingers gently approached the man's face, but only blocked the light and never really touched it.

Ah Xu, what do you think of me?
The sister you call me, all the attachment and admiration in your eyes. Really, is it for me?

"Axu."
Yue Sheng also opened his mouth and called her softly, but his voice was barely audible.

He put his fingers together to form a palm and covered Song Xu's eyes lightly, blocking out the bright light as well as the feelings that he himself dared not confirm whether they were real or false.

"elder sister?"
Song Xu felt Yue Shengyi coming in early, but because of her previous madness, she didn't dare to open her eyes to face Yue Shengyi's expression at this moment.

She was afraid, afraid to see fear and disgust in Sister Shengsheng's eyes, afraid that the luxurious love she had finally obtained in this little world would be lost so quickly.

So when Yue Shengyi approached, she held her breath tightly and pretended to be asleep. But when Yue Shengyi didn't move, Song Xu felt even more uneasy. When Yue Shengyi spoke, she opened her eyes, but she didn't want them to be completely covered.

"Sister Shengsheng?"
Song Xu called her again, reached out and held Yue Shengyi's hand that was covering her face, and rubbed her warm and soft cheek gently against the slightly cool palm.
Ruxing's eyes were clear and translucent, and with the way she tilted her head, she looked as obedient as a kitten, acting coquettishly to its owner.

Yue Shengyi stared at her in a daze, almost falling into the tenderness of those eyes.
If this tenderness is really given to her, how wonderful it would be.
Yue Sheng also slowly lowered his eyelids, avoiding Song Xu's gaze for the first time in recent days.
She gently pulled her hand back and sat sideways on the bed. She was still wearing the same crescent-white robe, but now it made her look extremely thin.

Song Xu was stunned for a moment, clenched his empty hands vaguely, and then slowly sat up.

Yue Shengyi's evasive action made her heart tighten, but she was more relieved that it was just as expected.
She is really a waste. She is not worthy of Shengsheng in any way. Shengsheng will definitely hate her, but he must not give up on her.
They both sat in silence, except that Yue Shengyi lowered his eyes and stared at the hem of his clothes, while Song Xu's fiery gaze was fixed on the profile of Yue Shengyi.

I don’t know how long it took, but Yue Shengyi was finally defeated by Song Xu’s gaze.
She closed her eyes, took a long breath, then turned and looked into Song Xu's eyes.

Gentle nostalgia, ardent love, strong admiration, deep possessiveness and faint madness. So many emotions were mixed in the originally clear eyes.

Not only was Yue Sheng stunned, but Song Xu, who realized belatedly that he had exposed his true self, was also suddenly at a loss.

".A Xu?"
Yue Shengyi opened his mouth slightly with an inexplicable tremor.
"Who are you looking at? Is it really me?"

Song Xu was stunned after hearing her words. He just stared at Yue Shengyi stupidly without moving a muscle. His panic turned into confusion.

Finally, she asked what was in her heart, but Yue Shengyi seemed to have been drained of her vitality, and her whole body was decadent. Her messy hair fell down, making her look pale and haggard.

Song Xu's heart suddenly ached when he saw this, and he reached out to touch her face, but she turned her head away and dodged him.
"Sister, what are you talking about? Are you doubting me?"

Hearing this, Yue Shengyi forced a smile, lowered his head and the shadows in his eyes showed his loneliness.
"It certainly wasn't me, was it?"
